quotacheck-Linux Command

Description: Here, we can see that /home has been remounted with the additional options of user quotas and group quotas. Using the 'quotacheck' command, we create our initial disk quota file. Once this command is run, it will create two files located in the /home directory, named aquota.user and aquota.group. They are binary files that store our quotas. We will want to run it with '-cug' as the command-line options: the 'c' is to perform a new scan and save it to disk, the 'u' is for user, and 'g' stands for group. Then, we will turn quotas on with the 'quotaon' command, specifying which partition we want to activate quotas on.
[root@station17 ~]# quotacheck -cug /home
[root@station17 ~]# quotaon /home
[root@station17 ~]#
